Paying a private eye to follow around the judge who is ruling over an active case you have before them is not okay, and every competent lawyer knows this.
I think the actual point of their move was to be able to try to use it for appeal when they lost the case. Appeals should be for actual merit, or constitutional issues, not because you purposely did something to make a judge hate you.
Sad day for independent investigations.
Great day for society though!
